Ionic liquids are of interest to chemistry and material sciences because of their designer properties. Protonated ionic liquids are excellent proton carriers in fuel cell electrolytes, providing electrolytes of a type that are simply not available in systems in which water acts as acid or base in the proton transfer process. But, there is a lacuna in our knowledge of these compounds. We have no information as to how protons migrate in protonated ionic liquids that could explain protonic conductivity. We, therefore, propose to study the mechanism of proton transfer as a function of temperature in two structurally simple alkylammonium nitrate ionic liquids, [CH3NH3][NO3] and [(CH3)2NH2][NO3].
